Dear SJB Families,
A heartfelt thank you to all who volunteered to work in the Sheboygan County Fair concession stand last weekend. The proceeds from this will benefit our athletic program. Those that worked it found it to be an enjoyable time to get to know other parish members and school families. Thank you also to the staff members who volunteered their time to work to support our athletic program. “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” - Helen Keller
Volleyball is underway. The girls have been practicing since mid-August. I wish the girls and their coaches the best this season. It is always neat to watch the girls gain confidence and to see them improve in their skills. Cross Country has also begun. This is the first year that St. John the Baptist has a Cross Country team. Their first meet took place yesterday in Howards Grove. Go Jaguars!
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Amy Nelson
Principal

From Mrs. Hylen - We had a great time at our first ever SJB cross country meet. I am very proud of all of our runners. A special shout out to Luke N. for coming in 9th place out of all of the boys running! Keep up the great work! |

St. John the Baptist is a PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) school. PBIS is a school wide system that teaches and acknowledges positive behaviors. Please see the attached letter from our PBIS team for more information about how PBIS works at SJB and how you as parents can help. |

Parents - We Need Your Help |
|
Attention SJB Parents
We need you! Your time, talents, and expertise is needed and is most definitely appreciated. Please consider signing up as a volunteer for one or more of the committees/events by clicking the button below. Many of these activities or events cannot occur if we do not get enough parent volunteers. Classroom Coordinators are especially needed as soon as possible to assist the teachers with a variety of needs. It is a great way to get to know others.
Thank you

Are you looking for a way to help SJB promote our fantastic school? Do you enjoy taking photos, using social media, or even help organize events? We need your help on the school's Marketing Committee.
The SJB Marketing Committee helps tell the community, alumni, and other prospective families about our great school through:
- physical assets (brochures, letters, banners, yard signs, printed ads, billboards, etc.)
- digital assets (photos, video, website copy/information, social media campaigns, etc.)
- organizing events (Plymouth Holiday Parade, Catholic Schools Week, Mill Street Days, etc.)
- building an SJB brand (school spirit apparel, curating our school verbiage, etc.)
- building a network in the parish, community and school families
- and any other ideas that we can come up with!
No prior experience, tools, or knowledge of programs is needed. We simply want more families to help tell our story better. If you do have experience or access to using Canva, Adobe products, editing videos, professional photography/videography equipment, digital advertising campaigns, etc. we would love to use your expertise but it is not required to be a part of the committee.
Worried about the time commitment? The committee meets via Zoom one or two times a month for less than one hour and is flexible to fit your schedule.
If you can help, please contact Principal Amy Nelson at anelson@sjbplymouth.org.

Are you interested in meeting other moms with young families in our parish, learning more, and growing in our faith as Catholic women? Do you have a busy schedule and want to participate in a Bible Study but find it tough to attend? Never done a bible study before and were a little intimidated? You’re not alone! We’re starting a Walking With Purpose Bible study, called Opening Your Heart with busy moms with young families in mind.
